100g of broccoli
200g of chicken breast

I put olive oil on both sides of the chicken, then put salt and pepper on both sides, and put it in the oven for 15 minutes at 170. Turns out great.

You should be eating a pound of broccoli, shitlet.

Are you trying to lose weight? This looks like you're trying to lose weight.

This looks bland, so buy a bunch of spices and shit. You can have chicken breast and greens every day and not get sick of them too fast if you make an initial investment in a bunch of different spices.

i swear to god gymcels have never heard of a stuffed chicken breast. it's so easy to do just go watch a single youtube video. stop cooking this shit. food is fun. eating makes you happy. the way you're treating food is as nothing more than nutrition. it's a dark, dreary outlook on life and you probably don't have that many friends

Oh and lemon juice.

The sauce is good on chicken but it really shines over fatty fish like salmon or trout. You can heat it if you want the flavors to completely blend and macerate, otherwise let it sit at room temp for a couple hours

I've used a sidewinder for years, decent enough keyboard. I still have it but it just sits in my closet as a backup.

Dang, you're a heavy boy. It's fantastic that you're making an effort towards losing some weight and healthy eating but you seriously need to learn how to make even somewhat healthy food taste good. I'm not a fat guy, but I'm definitely a glutton at heart and can balloon up to your weight and probably past it without self control so I'll share what's worked for me:

You've probably been eating like shit for a long time, so it's unreasonable to all of the sudden do a 180 and eat ONLY super healthy food and disregard the taste. With this mindset you are only setting yourself up for failure. Instead of going hard as a motherfucker and eating only boring no oil chicken and boiled broccoli, learn some relatively healthy recipes for lean meats and veggies, buy some spices and make some still healthy foods that taste great and instead practice portion control (which is most of what weight management is to be honest), and excessive. Also don't underestimate making very small changes and steps towards a healthier lifestyle. If you're used to drinking a couple of sodas a day, even cutting out a couple of sodas a week will make a difference in the long run. Do you drink coffee or tea every day with sugar? Take one less spoon or even no sugar. It seems minor in the short run, but over time it adds up. True change doesn't happen in a day, or a week or even a month. It takes time, man.

I'm not an expert in this shit, but what's working for me and for a lot of people is intermittent fasting. Google it and look at what works for people, but for me it's simply not eating foods before 10-11am and past 9-10pm. There are days that I'm craving something salty and savory at night and as silly as that sounds, I'll basically put some spices or seasonings on a plate and eat those.

>>12641559
Re-reading some of that, I've mistyped some of that, but you get the gist. Being healthy doesn't mean only eating flavorless foods. Spices are like a cheat code and with portion control and exercise you can actually make and eat delicious foods and even eat garbage every once in a while. It just takes practice and discipline. Going extreme and going on a diet doesn't work for most people. Doing small, incremental changes in their lifestyle does. Also decently healthy food doesn't have to taste terrible and there are a lot of benefits to going a long time between food.

I'm going for hour to 45m+ walks daily and sometimes fasting for 24 hours, I try to eat oats with skim milk for breakfast or failing that there's a cereal "XO Crunch" I eat, with skim milk. I haven't drank anything but water for about a month, when I wasn't dieting I used to eat like shit, take away every meal with a pepsi/coke. Sometimes I have bad moments where I eat something shitty like a pizza or a burger but I still go out walking, I've been in a vicious for several years where I don't give a fuck about my diet and gain weight, then in a few months or a year I'll change my mind and diet and exercise till I drop weight again and rinse repeat.

[bruce No.12641720]

>>12641652
I get it man, and it sounds like you're making a real effort. Start listening to podcasts by the way, if you don't already, to make those walks less like a chore.

I say don't fast for that long, because it will most likely just make you want to eat a TON of food afterwards and more or less cancel out. Just pick a reasonable window of time that you can eat between and just learn to get better and better at sticking to that window. 12 hours is not unreasonable. Let's say you get up at 8am, you do your morning routines, you eat at 9am. That means that you can't eat anything substantial past 9pm. That's not unreasonable.

Then give yourself a break one day a week to treat yourself, but no more. Just one day. If you blow it on Tuesday, you can't fuck up until the rest of the day. Some weeks you'll fail and you'll feel like a fat piece of shit. That's OK. You failed and you should feel a little bad, but that doesn't mean you're completely off course. Do better next week and learn to face your failures and recognize when you haven't failed. Think about all the other weeks you were able to not eat past 9pm. Give yourself like 6 months to do this eating within 12 hours and compare notes to when you first started.

It takes time man and it's hard, but eventually you learn to control yourself. That's self discipline and it's rewarding because it leaks into other aspects of your life.

Here's an OC picture of some kittens to motivate you, cunt.

Oh man, podcasts! It really depends on what you like, but there are pods for anything you like.

I personally love comedy, video games, so I have a couple that I can recommend if you're interested in any of those.

but the chicken is touching the handle of the fork 2/3rds of the way up. UNACCEPTABLE!!! hand might get dirty, also no paper towel to wipe mouth after every bite

[Anonymous No.12642161]

>>12636894
What I do with chicken is first of all add spices to it.
Then put olive oil in a pan, making sure that the outside is baked nice, then put it in the oven to make sure the inside is cooked wel.

Also you could split that big chunk in two thinner layers. Or maybe even chop it into smaller bits so its easier to cook.

You should be hammering it thin and pan frying it in EVOO if that's the only oil you're using, the flesh should be browned like the skin on the chicken I posted. You should also be dicing it and stir frying it with the broccoli.
